Synergizing Green Transitions: Exploring EV Usage Risks in South India through the UTAUT2 Model by Sailatha Karpurapu, J. Naga Venkata Raghuram

“…The risk factor plays a significant role in behavioral intentions and usage of EVs in the South Indian context, as assessed through the reworked United Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (UTAUT). 430 electric vehicle (EV) owners living in South India were surveyed and survey data was analyzed using a variance-based structural equation model (SEM). The newly suggested model explained 67.52% of the variance in terms of behavioral intention, and 43.58% of the variance in terms of actual usage. …”
